Merseyside memories
I was married in St. Joseph's 9th February 1963. The Priest who married us was Father Mc'Gonigal. Such a nice gentleman. The weather that day was snowy & very cold.

Upton has many happy memories for me. I was only 15 years old at the time we moved to Upton from Aintree. I spent many happy times in Upton those days. I remember the village so well. And in particular The Stone House Bakery! Where my mum would buy her bread and other deli items. I married in St. Josephs Church... [more]

I was brought up in Claughton Village (Wirral) and in the holidays as children we regularly walked through Bidston Hill to Thermopylae Pass. We would spend all day on the Hill and at Thermopylae and walk home at the end of the day exhausted and happy after playing and running about all day. At the time we didn't know its real... [more]

I moved to Irby in 1957 and remember the sandstone cottage that was there before the library. I think a lovely girl called Prudence Cottrell lived there and she had a strawberry roan pony that was always in the garden. Mrs Matthews had the corner shop at the top of the road into the village and the hardware store was owned... [more]

Irby for me was the place that led to walks and holding hands along the coast at Thustaston. I found the village to be a quaint quite place in the 1970s that had an almost magical feel in the spring when the flowers started to bloom. I now live in Minnesota, USA but I often times remember the sounds and smells... [more]

I was born in Irby 1940, and well remember the village, what a lot of changes have taken place. I too remember the cottage which preceded the library, and went to school with the young girl (very pretty) who lived there. I worked at Dawpool Farm, and would be interested to find any photos of the farm, or of anyone who... [more]

The butchers shop indeed was Simisters, it was run and owned by Bob Simister, a good friend of my dad. Bob on retiring from being a butcher ran a taxi service from his home on Irby Road, I used him frequently when I was home on leave from the army to run me to Lime Street. There was also a fruit...

I remember the paper shop opposite Mathews' that was Steeles and I delivered papers from there when it was taken over by Ernie Jones and his wife. Mathews' shop has been converted into flats. How times have changed. My dad Tom Hardy is still a member of Irby Club and has been for over 55yrs.
I also recall the old sandstone... [more]
